SKILLS
ABOUT ANDREY VENUTO
I’m a Staff Product Manager with 14+ years of experience in digital economies, global payments, and core blockchain infrastructure. My core expertise lies in building developer tooling, blockchains and foundational platforms - including DeFi protocols, Web3 payment gateways, and privacy-preserving systems. I’ve led both institutional and developer-facing product initiatives end to end.After a decade scaling global monetization platforms and digital storefronts at Google and PlayStation, I transitioned fully to Web3 - leading product strategy for Gala and now Shielded Technologies (an IOHK spinout). My recent focus is on architecting ZK-privacy protocols, enabling deep DeFi features, and building secure, scalable privacy preserving infrastructure for users and developers.With a technical and go-to-market mindset, I thrive at the intersection of cryptography, developer enablement, and ecosystem growth. I bring a global perspective from my time in Brazil, Spain, Italy, and the US - and I’m passionate about creating frictionless onboarding for retail users and powerful compliance and payment tools for builders.I believe Web3 is the future of global finance, and the future is now
